In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed quickly.
After the battle between humans and demons at the Sword Tomb, Gus and Casca had stayed at the Gott family for more than twenty days. Under the protection and shielding of the goblin mine, they had been there for a long time. The life of Ji Fei has finally settled down.
However, it was precisely because of the bloody battle that day that Gus knew the huge gap between himself and the immortal Zod, and even more so the gap between him and Griffith, who had somehow restored his human form. !
So, from that day on, Gus started training more crazily and with more intensity.
No matter it is day or night, whether it is windy, thundering or raining, he is almost always exercising or going out to lure demons and fight with evil spirits, so that there are only a few important moments like having dinner together. Only then can you see the other person's figure, or only one night can you see the other person secretly return to the goblin mine that can shield the brand breath to stay with Casca.
But today is an exception!
Although it was still noon, Gus returned to Gott's house and gathered with Gott, Rickett, who had just returned from delivering goods, and Erica, Annie, and others who came to join in the fun.
Because, Gott and Rickett actually learned about the Kusha people and the New Eagle Group from a group of resistance militiamen who came to order weapons, armor and arrows from Gott, especially the country that was in the Kingdom of Mitlan. The news about the 'Eagle of Light' that has been spreading in the territory?
"Ahem!"
"Everyone is here?"
"Well……"
"Then let me tell you!"
Looking at the people gathered together in his work shed, and seeing Gus, Little Annie, Erica and Casca behind him, Gott glanced at Rickit first. When he saw that the other person was unwilling to speak, he Then he cleared his throat, stood up, took a step forward, and relayed what they heard.
It is said...
One day half a month ago, a large city named Site in the west of the Kingdom of Mitlan was captured by the Kusha people.
In view of the stubborn resistance of the Mitlan lord, those cruel Kusha people actually launched a brutal and inhumane massacre in the city of Site. Countless people were beheaded or killed overnight, and the stinking corpses and heads were There were layers of fortifications outside and inside the city. The situation was extremely tragic. It would be an exaggeration to call it Shura Hell!
Thousands of young and beautiful women were directly turned into slaves of the winner to be sold, or they were simply sent to the kind of brothels that accompanied the army, and were used as a place for Kusha soldiers to vent their animal desires and reproduce. tool.
During that time, the city of Site was completely empty and full of corpses. What was originally a prosperous city turned into a ghost town almost instantly.
And it was at that moment when people felt they were the darkest and most desperate that the 'Eagle of Light' appeared.
That man who looked like a legendary angel. He wore silver armor and rode a horse with silver flying wings. He led his soldiers and followers who were as powerful as giant dragons and easily invaded. The generals of the Kusha people were killed in the city!
Then, when the Kusha crowd was leaderless and in chaos, he actually led a limited number of followers and some soldiers to easily defeat the counterattack organized by the Kusha people and defeated the Kusha army!
Then, of course, he saved the city of Sit and was supported by the people he saved.
"above……"
"That's probably what happened!"
After telling the general situation, Gott, who probably knew some of the grievances between the 'Eagle of Light' and Gus and the Eagle Group, thought for a while and stopped talking.
"Anyway, at this chaotic time when the capital of the Kingdom of Mitlan has fallen, when the king has been martyred, and the whereabouts of the new queen are unknown, and when the Kusha people are invading and the war is eroding, plus the plague breaks out, can someone stand up to expel the Kusha people and give them a new life?" When people bring order, that’s always a good thing!”
"Otherwise, I'm afraid we don't know how many people will die!"
Then, Gott made the following summary and comments.
After he finished speaking, of course he glanced thoughtfully at Gus next to him, who was leaning against the door frame with clenched fists and gritted teeth. Seeing that the other person was silent, he didn't know what he was thinking. After saying something, he shook his head and sighed sadly.
Obviously, Gott could tell that Gus would never give up on seeking revenge against Griffith. That was almost his obsession.
but……
The current 'Eagle of Light' is the savior of Midland, the Son of God who ends chaos, and the existence that the people yearn for. People don't care what the other party has done. If Gus knocks on the door rashly, The outcome is really hard to predict.
in particular…..
What if the other party now has many fanatical followers, a large number of elite soldiers, and no less than one city as its territory?
"..."
Gus seemed to have considered some of the things that Gott thought of, so while he was still gritting his teeth, he just clenched his fists and leaned against the door frame, staring blankly at the ground and thinking about things. There was nothing more. action.
"I think……"
"Griffith, he wants to found a country..."
"I didn't expect that!"
"To this day, he still never forgets about that incident..."
"Why……"
Seeing that no one said anything, Rickett paused, then said the same two words, and then he sighed again when he thought of something.
In Rickett's view, if Griffith had not done something, but had led the Eagles to lie dormant and waited until now to save Mitlan, perhaps that would be the best ending in his opinion?
But unfortunately, some things happened after all, and the gap between Gus and Griffith, and even Rickett and Griffith, could not be repaired after all.
"Jie!"
"Officially because it's him, that's why he did it!"
"The news is definitely not wrong!"
"I know him better than anyone else!"
"That's the kind of person he is!!"
"And since he is willing to sacrifice all the members of the Eagle Group to the devil, how could he not continue to carry out his plan?"
Finally, at this time, Gus spoke with a ferocious face, and after finishing speaking, he turned around in annoyance and began to look into the distance.
In the west, his enemy, the devil, openly changed his identity and accepted the worship of the people. However, he and Casca could only hide here and lick their wounds after encountering the drastic change. There was a huge gap. , Gus’s lungs almost exploded!
Thinking about the suffering that he and Casca encountered, thinking about those companions who risked their lives to save each other but died innocently in that lake, thinking about the familiar souls who could not rest in peace in the sword tomb, thinking about what that person had done With everything going on, Gus can't wait to rush to that city right now and expose the true face of that hypocritical guy!
but……
he can not!
Because the other party is not alone now. The other party probably already has an army, but he only has one person...
No!
He is not just a person, he also has his Casca...
Thinking of this, Gus finally turned around again and looked at Casca, who was squatting on the ground and playing something like a little girl.
"..."
Then, Gus saw Casca playing with some weird iron products there. They should be some toys that Gott had made for Erica in the past, but she was still playing with them even though she was in her twenties. I am very happy, just like a little girl who is only three or four years old.
Thinking of this, Gus knew that he must not mess around. Even if he wanted to take revenge, he must not rush into the opponent's territory recklessly and die!
"Gus..."
"You shouldn't be messing around anymore, right?"
After listening to what Gus said, and looking at the other person's expression that was still gritting his teeth, Rickett knew roughly what Gus would do next without having to guess. Therefore, after hesitating for a long time, he couldn't help but speak out. And advised anxiously.
"Recklessly?"
"whispering sound!"
"Of course I won't mess around, I'm not stupid!"
Gus was startled for a moment, and then he said this in an annoyed and complacent tone, and even managed to get Annie, who was listening with interest, to give him a big eye roll.
"That's good……"
After hearing Gus's words, Rickett could finally breathe a little relieved.
"no!"
"That guy is attacking the city now. He wants to build a country of his own. I won't let him succeed!"
"no way!!"
However, after just a short moment of entanglement and silence, before Rickett could completely relax, Gus' originally somewhat disappointed face suddenly turned ferocious and he gritted his teeth viciously.
"ah?"
"But!"
"Why?"
Hearing this, Rickett became anxious, then quickly stood up and persuaded.
"He's doing good things now, isn't he?"
"Can't we just leave it alone?!"
"Put it all aside, let's live in seclusion here and don't go looking for him, can't we?"
Now, even after knowing what happened, Rickett still really doesn't want Gus to go to Griffith to fight for his life again. He feels that forgetting everything in the past, just like this... It's nice to live in seclusion here.
Especially when Gus and Casca need to be taken care of, he really doesn't want anything to go wrong with Gus, otherwise, God knows what Casca will do in the future!
"No!"
"Beneath the surface of light is often a terrifying darkness!"
Unfortunately, Gus gritted his teeth and shook his head and rejected Rickett's kindness.
"Although he still looks like Griffith now, he is no longer the Griffith he was back then!"
"Griffith of our Eagle Regiment is dead!"
"The current Griffith is just a demon in human skin. I will not allow him to continue to stain the reputation of the 'Eagle Group'!"
"no way!!"
Especially, I thought about the other party using the name of "Eagle of Light" to deceive; I thought about the other party destroying the Eagle Group and all the people who desperately followed it for their own selfish interests; I thought about what the other party had done to everyone and Cascais When things seemed natural and guilt-free, he couldn't help but want to find something to vent about.
"There are some things that I have to settle with him!"
"Besides..."
Moreover, Gus also felt that maybe the series of chaos in the Kingdom of Mitland and the invasion of the Kusha people were caused by Griffith. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
It happened that chaos and plague occurred in the Kingdom of Mitlan, followed by the invasion of the Kusha people, and then the other party suddenly appeared during this time of internal and external troubles. For that kind of thing, he was scolded by a bad little girl every day. Stupid people can see something is wrong.
And if that's really the case, if the other party really does whatever it takes to achieve that goal, then he can't tolerate the other party continuing to do that!
Of course, he didn't have any evidence for this, so he didn't dare to speak out his guesses at this time.
"But……"
"Gus, what are you going to do?"
Rickett felt embarrassed and a little hesitant. He wanted to continue to persuade him but didn't know where to start. Therefore, he hesitated for a long time and had to ask carefully and tentatively.
"have no idea!"
"Don't worry Rickett, I won't mess around."
"Before that, I will investigate some things first, and if you let me know that certain things are really what I think, I will never let such a guy become the king!"
"I promise you guys!!"
Gus clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he spoke.
However, he didn't know that his words made Gott and Rickett present even more worried, and Erica, who was still a little confused, looked even more frightened.
"Rickett!"
"I may have to go out in two days, and I don't know when I will come back."
"I need your promise to ensure Casca's safety before I come back, in the name of the Eagles!"
"can you do it?"
After a while, when everyone looked at each other in silence for a while, Gus spoke out his decision, walked up to Rickett and asked.
He thought about taking Casca away with him, but he thought that his ability was not enough to awaken Casca's sanity, and that two people with brands staying together and going out might attract various powerful beings. Thinking that he might not be able to take care of everything then, he decided to leave Casca here.
After all, there is the magical goblin mine near the Sword Tomb in the back of Gott's house that can hide the aura. In that case, it will obviously be safer for Cascade to stay here than to follow him out, and he can also Let go and do something.
"As for Casca, I will do my best."
Of course there was no problem in taking care of Casca. After all, Rickett and Casca were originally partners and comrades-in-arms, and Erica was also helping them, so he didn't find it difficult.
"But……"
"Is there still a group of eagles?"
The Eagles were destroyed by Griffith himself, Casca went crazy, and Gus turned into the paranoid person he was before. Rickett felt that if he expected to continue to carry that burden, it would be better to let it completely disappear. never mind.
"have!"
"The original Griffith is dead. The current person is no longer our former partner. He is a devil, disguised by the Hand of God!"
"so!"
"The leader of the Eagle Group is now Cascaia!"
"As a member of the Eagle Group, you must protect her!"
Having said this, Gus walked up to Rickett, who was pursed and didn't know what he was thinking, and reached out to pat the other man's shoulder.
"But……"
"All right!"
"I will try my best!"
Looking at Gus's hot and determined eyes, Rickett had no choice but to sigh, and then responded with some grievance and helplessness.
"That means you can go out and play again?"
(ω)
"Great!!"
(｀)
After seeing these guys talking a lot of nonsense and finally deciding to go out for a walk, Anne, who was already a little impatient and didn't want to stay in this place any longer, of course jumped up from her seat and cheered. said.
"We must not lose it again!"
(-)
"But!"
"Gus, I'm not strong enough..."
"I'm a little worried..."
Other things are easy to say. In Rickett's opinion, he should be able to handle ordinary situations. After all, he has been on the battlefield and killed people. However, he may be very difficult to deal with the demons attracted by the brand. It is difficult to have reliable means of attack or defense.
"Don't worry!"
|ω)
"Those heroic spirits will appear when necessary!"
(゜▽＾*)
"They have all been awakened by Uncle Gus's holy light. Ordinary evil spirits and demons dare not approach the sword tomb!"
☆(o*ω)
Annie, who was worried that Gus would change his mind and prevent herself from going out to play, didn't even think about it, so she hurriedly explained like this and finally Gus, who had a hesitant expression on his face, was completely relieved.
"ah!"
"is that true?"
"Will everyone really show up again?"
Hearing this, Rickett was startled, and then hurriedly asked Anne excitedly.
He is not afraid of those heroic spirits. After all, they are all Rickett's partners, so if possible, he would even like them to come out often and chat with him.
Of course, only during the day?
"So!"
"That `s a deal."
Hearing what Annie said, Gus was completely relieved and finally looked at Gott and Erica.
"Gus!"
"rest assured!"
"I promise I won't lose Sister Casca again!"
Seeing the hesitant look in Gus's eyes, Erica, who knew what the other person was thinking, panicked, and then she hurriedly patted her small breasts and assured her loudly.
"If you lose it again, you'll get a spanking!"
()
"And it's like a hundred blows?!"
()
Anne threatened at the right moment and grabbed a thick iron plate directly from the old man's workshop.
"!!"
Seeing this, Erica was so frightened that she directly covered her buttocks, and then quickly shrank to Casca who was still squatting on the ground and playing with herself.
"Don't run!"
Q(`⌒Q)
"How about we finish the fight now, even if it's the punishment from last time?"
(c)
With that said, Annie chased after Erica, waving the iron plate and preparing to fire.
"don't want!"
"Go away!!"
Of course, Erica would not give in and just circle around Casca, who was squatting on the ground and playing.
"cough!"
"Now that we've decided, let's have a good night's rest and start again tomorrow!"
"I'll check your equipment later..."
"It's very chaotic outside right now. The Kusha people seem to be planning a counterattack recently. This situation is chaotic. Gus, be careful along the way!"
"Don't be too strong in anything!"
"If that doesn't work, come back quickly. Remember, Casca is still waiting for you at home."
Gott couldn't say much about Gus's decision, so after pondering for a while, he looked at Little Annie, Erica and Casca who were having fun together, and he could only say this. said.
"Um!"
"I know."
Looking at the innocent Casca beside Erica, Gus nodded and said nothing more.
He would not tell Gott that besides investigating certain things and seeking revenge on Griffith, he also had the intention of continuing to exercise his strength when he went out.
Because a little girl told him that there was actually no big problem with Casca, she just hid her personality (soul) in the deepest part of her heart because she was stimulated. It was a kind of escapism. And a means of self-protection, and if he wants to awaken the other party, he must temper his holy light to the point where it can directly penetrate the heart and soul and communicate directly with the other party!
And the best way to exercise the Holy Light, besides praying, is obviously to fight.
Only to fight!
Keep fighting!
To fight, to seek revenge, to crush the conspiracies of those so-called gods or demons, only then can he become more powerful, thereby redeeming himself, and at the same time redeeming Cascais!
